A year ago today I was sending an email to work saying “I won’t be in today. I’m not in labor yet, I just don’t feel well” and about 8 hours later (after receiving an official “diagnosis” :) of being in labor) we were greeted by a 7 lb 1 oz baby girl with the most beautiful strawberry blonde hair.
She has been such a happy baby with a great nature from the start. “Baby’s 1st Smile” is the one milestone that we don’t have exactly documented because we can’t ever remember her not being able to smile.
She has always been very aware and a keen observer of her surroundings, like she's just trying to take it all in. Nothing gets past her!
But to say that she's great natured and observant, is not to imply that she doesn't also have a BIG personality.
She is one of the most expressive people we know! Her latest expression is "oooohh" if she finds something interesting or "mmmmhh" if she's eating something good.
We also love (and appreciate!) her independent nature.
And to say she comes by it honest is an understatement since she has it running pretty strongly on both sides :)
Anna Claire, you bring so much joy to your entire family and put a smile on the face of anyone that meets you! We love you so much! Mama and Dada

Happy Birthday Anna Claire!! Love you and hope to see you soon!
Anna Claire, I've been waiting for your arrival for several years and now that I have spent your first year with you I can't believe what a gift was given to us last April 8th! You are such a sweet child with a gentle and loving nature. You do have a strong will but it shows itself in a kind nature also. Each day that passes with you is one of the best days ever and your Nana loves you so much!
